You sure? It's there in fedora (and used to be in redhat last i used it). It isn't a "supported" system in that they don't recommend it to customers, but it's in the kernel (at least fedora):

/lib/modules/2.6.23.12-52.fc7/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko

I thought it very bizarre that Fedora and CentOS would support XFS and that Red Hat wouldn't, but an exhaustive search through the Red Hat Network turned up empty. Ultimately our Account Rep confirmed what I had read through a source as authoritative as Wikipedia - that Red Hat had stripped the XFS module (among others) out of the 2.6 kernel and had no plans to support the filesystem in the future, instead putting all of their eggs in the ext4 basket. Imagine the surreal experience of showing up at a customer site with a USB stick full of "unsanctioned" packages in hand...

i just don't understand a lot of what everyone is talking about. i did find this article
http://aptgetanarchy.org/blag/nvidia[/url]http://aptgetanarchy.org/blag/nvidia[url]
i followed the directions but the installer was unable to find the kernel source????
what is it and how do i down load that from blag?
also its kinda getting frustrated, earlier i tried to down load a torrent file from pirate bay and it downloaded with miro. I have down loaded a billion things off pirate bay with XP using Azureus but i could get the download manager to offer anything other Miro, then i tried to burn the torrent using QDVD Author but was met with additional errors and unable to. I did all this things fine on xp but I hate the Microsoft Corpo-rape take over of the world. I thought also maybe a video of basic instructions of the various task and even how to use a few programs would be good instead of a video what blag looks like after the distro is installed(referring to "support videos" in the support forum) no doubt thats what scares most people away from Linux they just don't understand it. All i have learned has been from this forum and others online. I going to give a few more go's before i toss in my dell Xp recovery disk and go back to being Bill Gates concubine. If any know the answers to the questions above i greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Menu->Internet->BitTorrent File Transfer

Try that program instead of Miro, which is meant to be more like a full blown "internet tv".

qdvdauthor is not for burning CDs, but more for making DVD menus and stuff like that. http://lwn.net did an article about it (and DVDStyler) recently. I think the very best burning program is `k3b`, but it isn't on the CD since it drags in lots of KDE stuff. If you have enough RAM (like 512M or so) download that and check it out.

You can burn CDs and download bittorrents with BLAG.

Yes, that's a good idea. John is heading that way, methinks.

Yuck. Anyway, try to do it /truly/ free without the proprietary crap if you're going to try it. It seems you've spent a good deal of time trying to force some non-Free binary into BLAG. Don't take it out on BLAG that crap binary things don't work!

Thanks Jebba,
I really like the idea and the OS, Thanks for the suggestion on the burning program. I'm currently reading around the web trying to increase my Linux skill . And thanks Gr00ve for the advice, I was under the impression that Livna was a free source and not just a repackaging of NVIDIA's stuff. I'll be interested in a 3-d graphics driver when a free one is out, freedom is worth waiting for.
one thing though when i did run

uh. I have fixed a few things related to `yum` and the repos, but apparently not everything. Try a `yum clean all` and then `yum update`. If that doesn't work, use apt. :) `apt-get udpate` then `apt-get dist-upgrade` for example.

I went to a guide to installing the driver for my NVIDIA graphics card to have 3d support, but in order to install it I obviously need to kill X. So I do Control-Alt-F1, but it says X is still running, so I do Telinit 3, but when I do that it tries to kill the services from Init 4 or 5 (i'm not sure which), but stalls on Starting Jexec Services, and I have to control-alt-delete to a reboot after a while of it not working. Thanks in advance for you help (A)//(E)

I'm surprised by a few things that have been left out in other posts. First, have you checked whether the specific Nvidia chipset you have is supported by the xorg-x11-drv-nv package? By a newer version (from freedesktop.org) not yet packaged?

Second, updating your configuration for display is fairly painless with system-config-display. Do an init3, which will not present a prompt after completed, so perhaps press enter for a prompt. Run "system-config-display --reconfig," verify you are using the correct monitor and video driver, and use the toggle menus to make your modifications.
